Joe Clement hosts this episode and we hear:
Abortion Struggles Today: Bill Resnick talking with Jenny Brown, author of the 2019 Verso book: "Without Apology: Abortion Struggles Today".
Light From Uncommon Stars: Old Mole Chelsea Ratzlaff talks with Japanese American poet, composer, teacher, and author Ryka Aoki about her forthcoming book out this month with Tor Books.
Workplace Struggles are Political, Part 2. Continuing last week's conversation with Marianne Garneau, Joe and Marianne pay closer attention in this half to the nuts and bolts of organizing for power on the job as an important perspective on what power even is, and how workers are led astray by bosses, capitalist social conditioning, and even unions sometimes.
